3f3087fd02 Include opt_ah.h when compiling the driver.
There are HAL methods which are actually direct register
access, rather than simply HAL calls. Because of this, these
register accesses would use the non-debug path in ah_osdep.h
as opt_ah.h isn't included.

With this, the correct register access methods are used,
so debugging traces show things such as TXDP checking and
TSF32 access.

A DFS tester has reported that radar events are reported

a57433b96b Add an AR5416 aware version of the "current RSSI" function.
Pre-11n devices and AR5416 use AR_PHY(263) for current RX RSSI.
AR9130 and later have a fourth calibration register (for doing
ADC calibration) and thus the register has moved to AR_PHY(271).

This isn't currently used by any of the active code; I'm committing
this for completeness and in case any third party code attempts to
use it for legacy reasons.

62f62f4f4a Various interrupt handling and RX interrupt mitigation fixes.
* The AR_ISR_RAC interrupt processing method has a subtle bug in all
  the MAC revisions (including pre-11n NICs) until AR9300v2.
  If you're unlucky, the clear phase clears an update to one of the
  secondary registers, which includes TX status.

  This shows up as a "watchdog timeout" if you're doing very low levels
  of TX traffic. If you're doing a lot of non-11n TX traffic, you'll
  end up receiving a TX interrupt from some later traffic anyway.

  But when TX'ing 11n aggregation session traffic (which -HEAD isn't yet
  doing), you may find that you're only able to TX one frame (due to
  BAW restrictions) and this may end up hitting this race condition.

  The only solution is to not use RAC and instead use AR_ISR and the
  AR_ISR_Sx registers. The bit in AR_ISR which represents the secondary
  registers are not cleared; only the AR_ISR_Sx bits are. This way
  any updates which occur between the read and subsequent write will
  stay asserted and (correctly) trigger a subsequent interrupt.

  I've tested this on the AR5416, AR9160, AR9280. I will soon test
  the AR9285 and AR9287.

* The AR_ISR TX and RX bits (and all others!) are set regardless of
  whether the contents of the AR_IMR register. So if RX mitigation is
  enabled, RXOK is going to be set in AR_ISR and it would normally set
  HAL_INT_RX.

  Fix the code to not set HAL_INT_RX when RXOK is set and RX mitigation
  is compiled in. That way the RX path isn't prematurely called.

  I would see:

  * An interrupt would come in (eg a beacon, or TX completion) where
    RXOK was set but RXINTM/RXMINT wasn't;
  * ath_rx_proc() be called - completing RX frames;
  * RXINTM/RXMINT would then fire;
  * ath_rx_proc() would then be called again but find no frames in the
    queue.

  This fixes the RX mitigation behaviour to not overly call ath_rx_proc().

* Start to flesh out more correct timer interrupt handling - it isn't
  kite/merlin specific. It's actually based on whether autosleep support
  is enabled or not.

This is sourced from my 11n TX branch and has been tested for a few weeks.

Finally, the interrupt handling change should likely be implemented
for AR5210, AR5211 and AR5212.

9bf15204ae Disable TX interrupt mitigation just for the time being.
There are some timing concerns which I've yet to fully map out.
In any case, there's an existing software driven mitigation method
for TX interrupts and when TX'ing 11n frames, the whole frame itself
generates an interrupt rather then the subframes.

0e56140a1b Fix a corner case in the HAL debugging changes, where ah was NULL.
Although I tried to fix this earlier by introducing HALDEBUG_G(), it
turns out there seem to be other cases where the pointer value is still
NULL.

* Fix DO_HALDEBUG() and the HALDEBUG macro to check whether ah is NULL
  before deferencing it
* Remove HALDEBUG_G() as it's no longer needed

This is hopefully a merge candidate for 9.0-RELEASE as enabling
debugging at startup could result in a kernel panic.

353d29772b Change the default CABQ time to be 70% of the beacon interval,
rather than the whole beacon interval.

The reference driver and Linux ath9k both choose 80% of the
beacon interval and they do it in the driver rather than
the HAL (Ath reference) or ath9k_hw (ath9k.)

This quietens stuck beacon conditions on my AR9220/AR9280
based NICs when a lot of burst broadcast/multicast traffic
is going on. It doesn't seem to annoy the earlier MACs as
much as the AR9280 and later one.

c3f2102bef The AR5212 setup path (also used by the AR5416 code) configures a
local variable with a beacon interval of 100 TU. This never gets modified
if the beacon interval configuration changes.

This may have been correct in earlier times, but with the advent of
staggered beacons (which default to 1 / ATH_BCBUF beacon interval, so
25 TU here) this value is incorrect.

It is used to configure the default CABQ readytime. So here, the cabq
was being configured to be much greater than the target beacon timer
(TBTT.)

The driver should be configuring a cabq readytime value rather then
leaving it to the HAL to choose sensible defaults. This should be
done in the future - I'm simply trying to ensure sensible defaults
are chosen.

fc4de9b7fc Update the TSF and next-TBTT methods to work for the AR5416 and later NICs.
This is another commit in a series of TDMA support fixes for the 11n NICs.

* Move ath_hal_getnexttbtt() into the HAL; write methods for it.
  This returns a timer value in TSF, rather than TU.

* Move ath_hal_getcca() and ath_hal_setcca() into the HAL too, where they
  likely now belong.

* Create a new HAL capability: HAL_CAP_LONG_RXDESC_TSF.
  The pre-11n NICs write 15 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor;
  the AR5416 and later write 32 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor.
* Use the new capability to choose between 15 and 31 bit TSF adjustment
  functions in ath_extend_tsf().

* Write ar5416GetTsf64() and ar5416SetTsf64() methods.
  ar5416GetTsf64() tries to compensate for TSF changes at the 32 bit boundary.

According to yin, this fixes the TDMA beaconing on 11n chipsets and TDMA
stations can now associate/talk, but there are still issues with traffic
stability which need to be investigated.

The ath_hal_extendtsf() function is also used in RX packet timestamping;
this may improve adhoc mode on the 11n chipsets. It also will affect the
timestamps seen in radiotap frames.

aacc74998a Fix 5ghz calibration logic when using AR9280 w/ fast clock.
When the fast clock (44mhz) is enabled for 5ghz HT20, the
dual ADCs aren't enabled. Trying to do the ADC calibrations
here would result in calibration never completing; this
resulted in IQ calibration never running and thus performance

f3fb16875c Fix a missing initialisation of bt_flags when setting up the TDMA beacon.
The AR5212 HAL didn't check this field; timers are enabled a different
way.

The AR5416 HAL however did, and since this field was uninitialised, it had
whatever was on the stack at the time. This lead to "unpredictable"
behaviour.

This allows TDMA to work on the AR5416 and later chipsets.

8db87e4079 Introduce some more DFS related hooks, inspired both by local work
and the Atheros reference code.

The radar detection code needs to know what the current DFS domain is.
Since net80211 doesn't currently know this information, it's extracted
from the HAL regulatory domain information.

The specifics:

* add a new ath_dfs API hook, ath_dfs_init_radar_filters(), which
  updates the radar filters whenever the regulatory domain changes.
* add HAL_DFS_DOMAIN which describes the currently configured DFS domain .
* add a new HAL internal variable which tracks the currently configured
  HAL DFS domain.
* add a new HAL capability, HAL_CAP_DFS_DMN, which returns the currently
  configured HAL DFS domain setting.
* update the HAL DFS domain setting whenever the channel setting is
  updated.

Since this isn't currently used by any radar code, these should all
be no-ops for existing users.

1fdadc0fb6 Fix a corner case in RXEOL handling which was likely introduced by yours
truly.

Before 802.11n, the RX descriptor list would employ the "self-linked tail
descriptor" trick which linked the last descriptor back to itself.
This way, the RX engine would never hit the "end" of the list and stop
processing RX (and assert RXEOL) as it never hit a descriptor whose next
pointer was 0. It would just keep overwriting the last descriptor until
the software freed up some more RX descriptors and chained them onto the
end.

For 802.11n, this needs to stop as a self-linked RX descriptor tickles the
block-ack logic into ACK'ing whatever frames are received into that
self-linked descriptor - so in very busy periods, you could end up with
A-MPDU traffic that is ACKed but never received by the 802.11 stack.
This would cause some confusion as the ADDBA windows would suddenly
be out of sync.

So when that occured here, the last descriptor would be hit and the PCU
logic would stop. It would only start again when the RX descriptor list
was updated and the PCU RX engine was re-tickled. That wasn't being done,
so RXEOL would be continuously asserted and no RX would continue.

This patch introduces a new flag - sc->sc_kickpcu - which when set,
signals the RX task to kick the PCU after its processed whatever packets
it can. This way completed packets aren't discarded.

In case some other task gets called which resets the hardware, don't
update sc->sc_imask - instead, just update the hardware interrupt mask
directly and let either ath_rx_proc() or ath_reset() restore the imask
to its former setting.

Note: this bug was only triggered when doing a whole lot of frame snooping
with serial console IO in the RX task. This would defer interrupt processing
enough to cause an RX descriptor overflow. It doesn't happen in normal
conditions.

73f895fcf6 Disable the RXORN/RXEOL interrupts if RXEOL occurs, preventing an
interrupt storm.

This is easily triggered by flipping on and off tcpdump -y IEEE802_11_RADIO
w/ witness enabled. This causes a whole lot of console IO and when you're
attached to a serial console (eg on my AR7161 embedded board), the RX
interrupt doesn't get called quickly enough and the RX queue fills up.

This wasn't a problem in the past because of the self-linked RX descriptor
trick - the RX would never hit the "end" of the RX descriptor list.
However this isn't possible for 802.11n (see previous commit history for
why.)

Both Linux ath9k and the Atheros reference driver code do this; I'm just
looking now for where they then restart the PCU receive. Right now the RX
will just stop until the interface is reset.

45abcd6c9c Implement the 4KB split transaction workaround for Merlin (AR9280).
The AR9280 apparently has an issue with descriptors which straddle a page
boundary (4k). I'm not yet sure whether I should use PAGE_SIZE in the
calculations or whether I should use 4096; the reference code uses 4096.

This patch fiddles with descriptor allocation so a descriptor entry
doesn't straddle a 4kb address boundary. The descriptor memory allocation
is made larger to contain extra descriptors and then the descriptor
address is advanced to the next 4kb boundary where needed.

I've tested this both on Merlin (AR9280) and non-Merlin (in this case,
AR9160.)

b649b13f03 Prepare for embedded use of the AR9285/AR9287.
Calibration/PCI data that's written to flash (rather than EEPROM attached

to read the magic value and determine the EEPROM endianness from that.

* Make HAL_ANI_PRESENT and HAL_ANI_MODE unconditionally available,

f9da901e77 Reset the NIC if ANI is enabled or disabled.
Although this may not be what the original sysctl was designed to do,
it feels a bit more "expected".

Before, if ANI is disabled, the initial ANI parameters are still written
to the hardware, even if they're not enabled. "ANI enabled" would then
adjust the noise immunity parameters dynamically. Disabling ANI would
simply leave the existing noise immunity parameters where they are,
and disable the dynamic part.

The problem is that disabling ANI doesn't leave the hardware in
a consistent, predictable state - so asking a user to disable ANI
wouldn't actually reset the NIC to a consistent set of PHY signal
detection parameters, resulting in an unpredictable/unreliable outcome.
This makes it difficult to get reliable debugging information from
the user.

f52efb6d38 Fix a corner case in STA beacon processing when a CSA is received but
the AP doesn't transmit beacons.

If the AP requests a CSA (ie, a channel switch) and then enters CAC
(channel availability check) for 60 seconds, it doesn't send beacons
and it just listens for radar events (and other things which we don't
do yet.)

Now, ath_newstate() was not resetting the beacon timer config on
a transition to the RUN state when in STA mode - it was setting
sc_syncbeacon, which simply updates the beacon config from the
contents of the next received beacon.

This means the STA never generates beacon miss events.

If the AP goes into CAC for 60 seconds and recovers, the STA will
happily receive the first beacon and reconfigure timers.
But if it gets a radar event after that, it'll change channel
again, not notify the station that it's changed channel..
and since the station is happily waiting for the first beacon
to configure the beacon timer details from, it won't ever
generate a beacon miss interrupt and it'll sit there forever
(or until the AP appears on that channel once again.)

This change forces the last known beacon timer config to be
written to hardware on a transition from CSA->RUN in STA mode.
This forces bmiss events to occur and the STA will eventually
(after a handful of beacon miss events) begin scanning for
another access point.

2fd9aabb1b Fix beacon transmission after a channel set.
The DFS code was tickling the channel set directly whilst going
through the state RUN -> CSA -> RUN. This only changed the channel;
it didn't go via ath_reset(). However in this driver, a channel
change always causes a chip reset, which resets the beacon timer
configuration and interrupt setup. This meant that data would go
out but as the beacon timers never fired, beacons would never
be queued.

The confusing part is that sometimes the state transition was
RUN -> SCAN -> CAC -> RUN (with CSA being in there sometimes);
going via SCAN would clear sc_beacons and thus the transition
to RUN would reprogram beacon transmission.

In case someone tries debugging why suspending a device currently
beaconing (versus just RX'ing beacons which is what occurs in STA
mode), add a silly comment which should hopefully land them at
this commit message. The call to ath_hal_reset() will be clearing
the beacon config and it may not be always reset.

For the AR5211/AR5212, this is apparently a one byte pulse duration

This information was extracted from the Madwifi DFS branch along with

Please note - all this does is extract out the radar event duration,
it in no way reflects the presence of a radar. Further code is needed
to take a set of radar events and filter them to extract out correct
radar pulse trains (and ignore other events.)

48237774e4 Flesh out the radar detection related operations for the ath driver.
This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation!
It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future
development of the DFS radar detection code.

Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery,
all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured
and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us.

The "null" DFS radar detection module is included by default;
it doesn't require a device line.

This commit:

* Adds a simple abstracted layer for radar detection state -
  sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/;
* Implements a null DFS module which doesn't do anything;
  (ie, implements the exact behaviour at the moment);
* Adds hooks to the ath driver to process received radar events
  and gives the DFS module a chance to determine whether
  a radar has been detected.

6246be6e58 Enable setting the short-GI bit when TX'ing HT rates but only if the
hardware supports it.

Since ni->ni_htcap in hostap mode is what the remote end has advertised,
not what has been negotiated/decided, we need to check ourselves what
the current channel width is and what the hardware supports before
enabling short-GI.

It's important that short-GI isn't enabled when it isn't negotiated
and when the hardware doesn't support it (ie, short-gi for 20mhz channels
on any chip < AR9287.)

I've quickly verified this on the AR9285 in 11n mode.

e808ca4454 Add in descriptions for TX descriptor fields ctl8-11 - these fields
control the antenna control bits for the four TX series and the
TPC settings for TX series 1, 2, 3.

The specifics:

* The TPC setting for TX series 0 is handled in ctl0.

* TPC is currently disabled, so the per-packet TX power is
  set via the global per-rate TX power register, not per packet.

* The antenna control bits don't matter for AR5416 and later
  so they should stay 0 (which they currently do); they may
  be set for Kite but as there's no TX diversity supported
  at the moment (it requires the NIC to be built with an
  external antenna switch, matching how antenna diversity
  is done on legacy NICs), so again keep them 0.

This is in preparation for supporting per-rate TPC on the
AR5416 and later. The Kite (and soon to come Kiwi) code
sets ctl8-11 to 0x0, which doesn't have any effect at
the moment. When TPC is enabled it would result in the
second, third and fourth TX series attmpts to be done with
a TX power of 0. This commit doesn't change that; it'll
be followed up with some commits to properly set the TPC
registers appropriately.

047d6827d0 Import initial EEPROM code for Kite (AR9287).
I've tested this locally and it does indeed read and attach to an AR9287
EEPROM. But a lot more code needs to be ported over to the HAL before
the AR9287 is functional.

I'm importing this separate from the rest of the codebase (and unlinked from
the build for now) in case someone wishes to begin fiddling with porting
the rest of the code over from Linux ath9k.

d6415a7cf6 When disabling RIFS for Sowl (AR9160) and Howl (AR9130), make sure RIFS
is totally disabled.

The Atheros HAL code does this for Sowl/Howl but not for Owl (AR5416) where
RIFS is disabled by default.

This seems to quieten the occasional baseband hang I've been seeing with
the AR9160 in STA mode under constant heavy traffic load.

6b00c928cb Make the NF calibration logic (hopefully!) more resistive to noisy
environments.

In setups where NF calibration can take a while, don't load the CCA
and kick off a new NF calibration if the previous one hasn't yet
completed. This shouldn't happen unless the environment is noisy but
those exist (hi phk!).

Here, if the previous NF hasn't completed when ar5416LoadNf() is run
(which reads the NF), it skips updating the history buffer, loading
the NF CCA array and kicking off the next NF cal. It's hoped it'll
occur in the next long calibration interval.

This is taking quite a while for some people in some situations

Instead, the rest of the calibration related code should
ensure that a NF calibration has occured before reading NF
values and kicking off another NF calibration.

The channel should also likely be marked as "noisy" (CWINT)
if the NF calibration takes too long.

60abf57fd5 Import some initial Kite fixed diversity code from Atheros.
For now, the diversity settings are controlled by 'txantenna',
-not- rxantenna. This is because the earlier chipsets had
controllable TX diversity; the RX antenna setting twiddles
the default antenna register. I'll try sort that stuff out at
some point.

Call the antenna switch function from the board setup function
so scans, channel changes, mode changes, etc don't set the
diversity back to a default state too far from what's intended.

Things to todo:

* Squirrel away the last antenna diversity/combining parameters
  and restore them during board setup if HAL_ANT_VARIABLE is
  defined. That way scans, etc don't reset the diversity settings.

* Add some more public facing statistics, rather than what's
  simply logged under HAL_DEBUG_DIVERSITY.

For now, the fixed antenna settings behave better than variable
settings for me. I have some further fiddling to do..

c9cd76313b Fix the 5ghz fast clock logic.
The macro which I incorrectly copied into ah_internal.h assumed
that it'd be called with an AR_SREV_MERLIN_20() check to ensure
it was only enabled for Merlin (AR9280) silicon revision 2.0 or
later.

Trouble is, the 5GHz fast clock EEPROM flag is only valid for
EEPROM revision 16 or greater; it's assumed to be enabled
by default for Merlin rev >= 2.0. This meant it'd be incorrectly
set for AR5416 and AR9160 in 5GHz mode.

This would have affected non-default clock timings such as SIFS,
ACK and slot time. The incorrect slot time was very likely wrong
for 5ghz mode.

60d3878423 * Add in a comment about ar5416InitUserSettings() potentially
modifying AR_DIAG_SW.

  There's a hardware workaround which sets disabling some errors
  early at startup and clears said bits before the PCU begins
  receiving - it does this to avoid RX descriptor status errors.

  It's possible these bits aren't being completely properly twiddled
  in all instances; but in particular if the diag_reg HAL variable
  is set it won't be setting these bits correctly. I'll review this
  at some point.

 * Disable multicast search on mac address and key id - the driver
   doesn't use it at the moment and thus adhoc may be broken for
   merlin and later.

* Change this to be for Merlin 1.0 (which from what I understand
  wasn't ever publicly released) to be more correct.

* Don't treat unknown BB hangs as fatal; ath9k/Atheros HAL don't

for a stuck state engine, but it can happen under high traffic
conditions. Ath9k and the Atheros HAL simply log a debug message and
continue.

d1915e7308 Fix the OWL revision checks.
A quick story, which is partially documented in the commit.

The silicon revision in Linux ath9k and the Atheros HAL use an
AR_SREV_REVISION mask of 0x07.

FreeBSD's HAL uses the AR5212 AR_SREV_REVISION mask of 0x0F.

Thus the OWL silicon revisions were coming through as 0xA, 0xB,
0xC, rather than 0x0, 0x1 and 0x2.

My ath9k-sourced AR_SREV_OWL_<X> macros were thus using the wrong
silicon revision values and wouldn't correctly match.

This commit does a few things:

* Change the AR_SREV_OWL_<x> macros to use the AR_SREV_REVISION_OWL_*
  values, not AR_XSREV_REVISION_OWL macros;
* Disable AR_XSREV_REVISION_OWL_* values;
* Modify the IS_5416 to properly check the MAC is OWL, rather than
  potentially matching on non-OWL revisions (which shouldn't happen
  unless there's a silicon revision of higher than 0x9 in a later
  chip..)
* Add a couple more macros from the Atheros HAL for compatibility.

The main difference now is that the Atheros HAL defines
AR_SREV_OWL_{20,22}_OR_LATER subtly differently - it fails on all HOWL
silicon. The AR_SREV_5416_*_OR_LATER macros match on the relevant OWL
version -and- all HOWL versions, along with subsequent versions.

A subsequent commit is going to migrate the uses of AR_SREV_OWL_X_OR_LATER
to AR_SREV_5416_X_OR_LATER to match what's going on in the Atheros HAL.

There's only two uses of AR_SREV_OWL_X_OR_LATER which currently don't
apply to FreeBSD but it may do in the future.

Yes, it's all confusing!

47ff47a858 Don't perform NF calibration for radio chains which aren't in use:
Quoting the ath9k commit message:

At present the noise floor calibration is processed in supported
control and extension chains rather than required chains.
Unnccesarily doing nfcal in all supported chains leads to
invalid nf readings on extn chains and these invalid values
got updated into history buffer. While loading those values
from history buffer is moving the chip to deaf state.

This issue was observed in AR9002/AR9003 chips while doing
associate/dissociate in HT40 mode and interface up/down
in iterative manner. After some iterations, the chip was moved
to deaf state. Somehow the pci devices are recovered by poll work
after chip reset. Raading the nf values in all supported extension chains
when the hw is not yet configured in HT40 mode results invalid values.

d2615832bf Fix up the chipset checks for the AR5416 and later silicon.
The checks should function as follows:

* AR_SREV_<silicon> : check macVersion matches that version id
* AR_SREV_<silicon>_<revision> : check macVersion and macRevision match
    the version / revision respectively

* AR_SREV_<silicon>_<revision>_OR_LATER: check that
  + if the chip silicon version == macVersion, enforce revision >= macRevision
  + if the chip silicon version > macVersion, allow it.

For example, AR_SREV_MERLIN() only matches AR9280 (any revision),
AR_SREV_MERLIN_10() would only match AR9280 version 1.0, but
AR_SREV_MERLIN_20_OR_LATER() matches AR9280 version >= 2.0 _AND_
any subsequent MAC (So AR9285, AR9287, etc.)

The specific fixes which may impact users:

* if there is Merlin hardware > revision 2.0, it'll now be correctly
  matched by AR_SREV_MERLIN_20_OR_LATER() - the older code simply
  would match on either Merlin 2.0 or a subsequent MAC (AR9285, AR9287, etc.)

* Kite version 1.1/1.2 should now correctly match. As these macros
  are used in the AR9285 reset/attach path, and it's assumed that the
  hardware is kite anyway, the behaviour shouldn't change. It'll only
  change if these macros are used in other codepaths shared with
  older silicon.

9f25ad52ce Introduce AR9130 (HOWL) WMAC support to the FreeBSD HAL.
The AR9130 is an AR9160/AR5416 family WMAC which is glued directly
to the AR913x SoC peripheral bus (APB) rather than via a PCI/PCIe
bridge.

The specifics:

* A new build option is required to use the AR9130 - AH_SUPPORT_AR9130.
  This is needed due to the different location the RTC registers live
  with this chip; hopefully this will be undone in the future.
  This does currently mean that enabling this option will break non-AR9130
  builds, so don't enable it unless you're specifically building an image
  for the AR913x SoC.

* Add the new probe, attach, EEPROM and PLL methods specific to Howl.

* Add a work-around to ah_eeprom_v14.c which disables some of the checks
  for endian-ness and magic in the EEPROM image if an eepromdata block
  is provided. This'll be fixed at a later stage by porting the ath9k
  probe code and making sure it doesn't break in other setups (which
  my previous attempt at this did.)

* Sprinkle Howl modifications throughput the interrupt path - it doesn't
  implement the SYNC interrupt registers, so ignore those.

* Sprinkle Howl chip powerup/down throughout the reset path; the RTC methods
  were

* Sprinkle some other Howl workarounds in the reset path.

* Hard-code an alternative setup for the AR_CFG register for Howl, that
  sets up things suitable for Big-Endian MIPS (which is the only platform
  this chip is glued to.)

This has been tested on the AR913x based TP-Link WR-1043nd mode, in
legacy, HT/20 and HT/40 modes.

Caveats:

* 2ghz has only been tested. I've not seen any 5ghz radios glued to this
  chipset so I can't test it.

* AR5416_INTERRUPT_MITIGATION is not supported on the AR9130. At least,
  it isn't implemented in ath9k. Please don't enable this.

* This hasn't been tested in MBSS mode or in RX/TX block-aggregation mode.

6f5fe81e02 Fix a corner-case of interrupt handling which resulted in potentially
spurious (and fatal) interrupt errors.

One user reported seeing this:

Apr 22 18:04:24 ceres kernel: ar5416GetPendingInterrupts: fatal error,
  ISR_RAC 0x0 SYNC_CAUSE 0x2000

SYNC_CAUSE of 0x2000 is AR_INTR_SYNC_LOCAL_TIMEOUT which is a bus timeout;
this shouldn't cause HAL_INT_FATAL to be set.

After checking out ath9k, ath9k_ar9002_hw_get_isr() clears (*masked)
before continuing, regardless of whether any bits in the ISR registers
are set. So if AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE is set to something that isn't
treated as fatal, and AR_ISR isn't read or is read and is 0, then
(*masked) wouldn't be cleared. Thus any of the existing bits set
that were passed in would be preserved in the output.

The caller in if_ath - ath_intr() - wasn't setting the masked value
to 0 before calling ath_hal_getisr(), so anything that was present
in that uninitialised variable would be preserved in the case above
of AR_ISR=0, AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE != 0; and if the HAL_INT_FATAL bit
was set, a fatal condition would be interpreted and the chip was
reset.

This patch does the following:

* ath_intr() - set masked to 0 before calling ath_hal_getisr();
* ar5416GetPendingInterrupts() - clear (*masked) before processing
  continues; so if the interrupt source is AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE
  and it isn't fatal, the hardware isn't reset via returning
  HAL_INT_FATAL.

This doesn't fix any underlying errors which trigger
AR_INTR_SYNC_LOCAL_TIMEOUT - which is a bus timeout of some
sort - so that likely should be further investigated.

I'll figure out what's going on before re-enabling this as it does add

d10f1cdc8c Mark the PHY as inactive before the chip is reset.
It's also marked inactive by the initvals, and enabled after
the baseband/PLL has been configured, but before the RF
registers have been programmed.

The origin and reason for this particular change is currently unknown.

52d84465a2 Disable classic-style fast diversity on the AR5416 and later.
Antenna diversity on the >= AR5416 is implemented differently than the

disable it for now.

235ab70e0a Add in the AR9285 (Kite) diversity to if_ath, enabling TX/RX antenna

This is bit dirty and likely should be revised at a later date,
with an eye to unifying/tidying up the whole diversity setup
and allowing developers to do "tricky stuff" as they desire.
For now, this works.

* add a diversity flag to the HAL debugging section
* add a check to make sure the kite diversity code doesn't run

  implement it.
* add some debug statements when the diversity code makes
  changes to the antenna diversity/combining setup.

c772d0204f Port over a TX gain fix from ath9k specific to the AR9285 (Kite) and AR9271.
Note: this HAL currently only supports the AR9285.

From Linux ath9k:

The problem is that when the attenuation is increased,
the rate will start to drop from MCS7 -> MCS6, and finally
will see MCS1 -> CCK_11Mbps. When the rate is changed b/w
CCK and OFDM, it will use register desired_scale to calculate
how much tx gain need to change.

The output power with the same tx gain for CCK and OFDM modulated
signals are different. This difference is constant for AR9280
but not AR9285/AR9271. It has different PA architecture
a constant. So it should be calibrated against this PA
characteristic.

The driver has to read the calibrated values from EEPROM and set
the tx power registers accordingly.

82c30dc46e Begin fleshing out a public HAL routine to export the per-chain
ctl/ext noise floor values.

This routine doesn't check to see whether the radio is MIMO
capable - instead, it simply returns either the raw values,
the "nominal" values if the raw values aren't yet available
or are invalid, or '0' values if there's no valid channel/
no valid MIMO values.

Callers are expected to verify the radio is a MIMO radio
(which for now means it's an 11n chipset, there are non-11n
MIMO chipsets out there but I don't think we support them,
at least in MIMO mode) before exporting the MIMO values.

f1ff114882 Export the per-chain ctl/ext noise floor values, raw and uncut, to the
upper-level HAL.

Right now the per-chain noise floor values aren't used anywhere in
the upper-level HAL, so the driver currently has no real reference
to compare the per-chain RSSI values to.

This is needed before per-chain RSSI values (for ctl and ext radios)
are can be thrown upstairs to the net80211 code.
